Hey, wait a minute!!

I listened on the radio... why isn't that choice in there?????

When it started to sound like a beauty pageant, i moved on.

At least they were asked substantive questions, while I was watching.

Somehow, now that I am married, I have zero time for anything anymore.  (Except making wonderful love!!!  heh heh sorry)  Hell, I'm probably not even going to watch the first NFL game tonight.  Wich is a shame because I really want to see Peyton get his face filled with turf.  The whiney little baby.  plus Fred did a stupid thing and went on Leno instead of playing with the big boys.  Reading Drudge, it looks like he paid for it too.   

The American Revolution Continued

 First off I don't like debates. Secondly it is too early for the campaigns to start. I am turned off. It is the same old BS from both sides. No one other than that commie John Edward has said anything that surprises me. Breck Boy saying that he would make it mandatory that you go to a doctor surprised me. I didn't think he was that of a commie until he said it.

A bonafided and certified member of the beer guzzling, NASCAR watching middle class.

Somebody has got to pluck the magic twanger and disappear Ron Paul.  The lunatic has no business calling himself a Republican.

Good god was it boring. If this slate of Republican candidates wants to win the nomination, they better take a course in public speaking. My wife and I were falling asleep listening to them.

All so-called, "debates" are a waste of time and always have been.  So what if you're a slick debater?  That isn't a quality I particularly have to admire in anyone, do I?  There have been too many already, who will remember or care about any of this in a few weeks?  Politics is a swamp of delusions. 

Anyone who says they support the troops but not the mission is a liar. 

Well leave it to me to have really enjoyed last night's debate..

For me it was one of the best ones so far...

Ron Paul and Huckabee were great...doesn't get much better than that IMO.

Huckabee saying in the back and forth 'Even if we lose elections...We should not lose our honor!'...

That was in response to Paul saying look at our party losing seats because of the war....

The back and forth was much longer...

Fox put on a great debate IMO...

Just about everything I posted yesterday was discussed including Thompson right off the bat...Craig was brought up...

25 minutes if illegal immigration which I was happy about....

I was wishing they would of got into being dependent on ourselves here for oil...

Another time I suppose and a long way to go yet...

What I loved was I was watching BOR right before the debate adn here comes a Thompson commercial right before the last segment for BOR....that was brilliant IMO!

Thompson/Hunter '08!

I liked watching Dr. Paul have his Chamberlin moment.  He was so pleased with his answer that instead of attacking Iran he would sit and talk with them, and how he would accept their promises to be good and not attack anyone, that you could tell he really wanted to hold up a piece of note paper and say "peace in our time!"

Did anyone else notice that Rudi looked like he had just taken a bath in Insta-Tan?  He looked so baked he seemed to be trying to steal the title of First Black President from Clinton.

Also, whatever debate skills Romney had in the past are gone.  His tank is empty.  He started his talking points with a joke he's told to numerous media outlets already, and you could hear the crickets chirping.  He also failed to answer pretty much every question asked of him.

I watched every moment and loved it. I am so proud of these polished courtly Republican candidates.

But here are my impudent snapshot observations: tired of Huckabee's  self-effacing "aw, shucks" shtick.

Tired of Rudy's imperious "What I did for New York" comments.

Tired of waiting for the studied Romney to tighten up his message.

Tired of Ron Paul's belligerent hate America theme.

Embarrased for the distracted Tomcredo's verbal bumbling.

Proud, once again, of  the methodical Duncan Hunter.

Glad to see the unflinching John McCain snap back to life.

And Fred who??
But what's a lady to do? Though it will be one of these Republicans, I still haven't picked a candidate.

I'd like to see a debate where the questions come from the political equivalent of Nolan Ryan.  Particularly in the Demunist debates.  I get no value out of one-sided or soft-ball questions.

"Ms. Rodham-Clinton, I love your pantsuit.  What colors do you prefer in the Lincoln Bedroom?"

"Mr. McCain, you Nazi, how soon are you going to surrender to the peace-loving al-Queada freedom fighters in Iraq?"

As far as Ron Paul, he means well, and he has a lot of good ideas.  However, the ideological purity of the Libertarian viewpoint when it comes to legalization of pot will keep this party (and their generally good ideas) safely ensconced on the lunatic fringe of American politics.  It is unfortunate that the single candidate who is most likely to demolish the IRS (the Communist arm of the US government) is also carrying around this peace-nik, Rodney King "Can't we all just get along?" Libertarian baggage.

And I sent Fred $25 today as a reward for making it official.

I watched it last night. The one thing that really comes to mind is that while this GOP field is not perfect and while there are some things I don't like about some of the candidates, they are all so much better than the Dems! I know that goes without saying. That thought just kept coming to me, though. You can watch this debate and smile and applaud at many of the things that were said. Answers that often had substance, dealt with real issues, reflected good morals, showed an intelligent grasp of the subject, and expressed ideas that reflect and support love for our country and its wonderful heritage and traditions. Such a contrast from the "I'm your girl", "We need to move forward" Democrat "debates".

The part where Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee were allowed to go back and forth for a while was awesome (And they both let each other finish their sentences before replying).  If only this type of exchange was the norm for debates. Hillary wouldn't stand a chance if she actually had to debate someone like that. Instead, she'll enjoy the format where she can dodge any challenging questions or points and just use her minute to praise herself (and for all the typical non-reasons and meaningless generalities [eg. "I've worked hard as Senator", "I have a lot of experience"]).

I also loved when Duncan Hunter said when a Democrat is involved in corruption the other Dems appoint them to head committees. We need these candidates to be bold like this and take on the corrupt, hypocritical, disgusting behavior of the DemocRATS.
